Swam 1 mile @ 57 min.

Swam 2.5km in 68 minutes. I always do one length crawl then one length breast stroke just to work all the muscles. Oh and thanks for the heads up on the group Monte.

Welcome and ....most welcome, xDesertxRatx

For some reason your comment about a crowded pool made me think of this....

Ha HA. No such rule at the pool I swim at in China. I'm not fast but I pass almost everyone in that pool. One woman doing a very slow breast stroke I passed every other lap but she didn't even have to good sense to get out of the 'fast' lane. Most of the time I was passing people every 3 or 4 laps.

2400m with masters

400 as 100 free 100 back 100 free 100 br

8x 50 mixed kick

10x 50 fly kick

6x 100 free on 2.15 as 50@80% 25 max 25 max with 10s rest between each bit

4x 75 sculling

200 warmdown

During the warmdown my coach told me that my freestyle technique needs fixing. He thinks I overextend especially on my right arm and is going to video me on Saturday to show me how bad my stroke is!

@emmab0902 Good thing he can't see my stroke, He would be spinning,

Noon Hour Splash and Dash.
All Breast - 500m and Backstroke - 500m.
One of the Swimmers in the Fast lane definitely needs to see the Sign posted by @Montepulciano . I am a slowwww backstroker and I would pass him every 6 lengths. Which is tricky on backstroke when you can't see where the other swimmers are in the cycle. Waited for the wall and front crawled past him then rolled over to BS.

2500 yds, 58 minutes. Light rain and only one other swimmer way over on the other side of the pool. Very nice.

Adult Swim Club. All Drills incorporated 3 strokes, Crawl, Breast and Back.

200m Warmup 50 kick 50 swim

4 sets
25m Tomb Stone kick & 50m Pull = 75m x 3 (Fr,Bk,Br) = 225m x 4 = 900m
When you are at 1100m and only on your first set its going to be a killer workout!!

50m Fr, Bk, Br x 4 = 600m
Started in the Middle of the pool so we would have to do 2 turns/25m and swim away from the end of the pool. A practise of turns.

200m Front Crawl relay - 50m Tag out and wait for swimmer to get there 50m done. A play on the above drill with 4 turns.

200m cool down choice = 2100m.
We have done more but Tomb stones are brutal.

2600 yds, 58 minutes. Three days in a row!

I got 40 min in before class again yesterday. As usual, it was the last 1/3 of my workout before I felt in the swing. I really need to try to get there earlier so that the last 1/3 is longer than 10-15 min. The first 10-15 are brutal sometimes. My muscles aren't warmed up. My arms and legs are acting like they are on separate bodies controlled by separate brains. The second 1/3 is better, but that's usually when I grab some kind of equipment to remind my body to stay flat. Then it all comes together at the end, and before I know it, it's time for the cardio class. I could move to a different lane and keep swimming laps, but each activity I do really complements the others, so I'm reluctant to give anything up.
